Two cases of superior mesenteric vein thrombosis; the utility of CT scan

Abstract

Two cases of superior mesenteric vein thrombosis were examined with computed tomography. Prior to the operation the CT appearances of the disease were, as follows: focal thickening of the bowel wall, gas and fluid collection in the dilated bowel, mesenteric leaf, a little ascites and dilated superior mesenteric vein with central filing defect. We conclude that CT scan is very useful for an early diagnosis of the superior mesenteric vein thrombosis.
